Travis Strikes Again spends so much time calling back to other games, it forgets to be fun itself. [Issue#169, p.92]

Among the rubble there are elements of what could be a good game, but it's not worth your time to excavate them. Technically disastrous, it lets down its own story. [Sept 2014, p.111]

But MLB 09 instead. Now. [June 2009, p.96]

Trouble is, whichever character you pick, the game ends up largely the same. [Nov 2007, p.112]

It's ambitious, but everything in it suffers from some hideous defect, like a garden centre in the middle of Chernobyl. [Oct 2012, p.110]

A fairly significant disaster. [July 2009, p.92]

Everything's been needlessly fiddled with so that it no longer makes sense. [March 2007, p.120]

One of the worst open worlds Ubisoft has released. Even if its issues have been patched by the time you read this, this is one seriously uninspired sandbox. [Issue#168, p.88]

The quests are grinding, the dialogue linear, and the loot at lower levels decidedly 'meh.' [Oct 2012, p.117]

Buy this to guarantee a ruck...with your own sanity. [Nov 2012, p.97]

Not buying this would be the ultimate lucky escape. [May 2017, p.92]

Tells an entirely forgettable story. [Nov 2012, p.97]

Essentially an account simulator (woo!) punctuated by the odd cannon-on-cannon scuffle. [Nov 2012, p.105]

It's so ugly that your Vita will likely look embarrassed at having to play it. [Apr 2012, p.115]

The game constantly makes you look a titanic fool, but matching the rhythm of the Move's rumble to your gestures for extra speed is oddly satisfying. [Nov 2011, p.109]

Rather than doing anything very clever, it just nicks some of the best lines from the films, reminds you of the bits you liked, and carries on quietly being an incredibly average platform scrapper. [Sept 2007, p.117]

Feel dirty. [Apr 2012, p.118]

As sure as I am that Infinity Runner is a bad game, it's certainly not a game I dislike. [June 2015, p.88]

A cynical grab for gullible gamer Christmas cash made to coincide with Vita's first festive period, this COD shouldn't just be declassified; it should be erased from existence.

This is visually bare-bones and an incredibly sloppy port of the PC original. The menus have an eye-jittering delay that makes navigating a chore. Worse still, hard crashes occur every 20 minutes in the final third of the story, forcing you to replay tombs already conquered. It’s hard to recommend a game that punishes you with its bugs. Pray for this one. [Issue#178, p.82]

Creaky old level design, a loathsome entourage of heroes, and a lifeless open world. [Nov 2017, p.81]

Its worst sin? It's boring. [Christmas 2015, p.83]

A smart, tough base game completely obscured by janky execution. [Christmas 2015, p.83]

Lacking the immediacy and fun of Killzone Liberation, this feels criminally outdated. [Christmas 2007, p.109]

Yawn. [Nov 2011, p.115]

A one-note, ugly button masher. [Apr 2009, p.102]

The formula needs an update. [Nov 2014, p.94]

Everything works and it will kill a few hours, but only in a rubber-necking, see-where-it-goes kind of way. [July 2011, p.103]
